I found the settings to disallow people from downloading the file only applied to "Share with people", but nothing is mentioned about whether downloading can be prohibited (or automatically prohibited) under the "Anyone with the link" option. However, if the browser does not support that player (or any player), will the user be prompted to download it instead? I tried in my own computer, when I entered the shareable link obtained to a web browser, Google's video player opened the file and played it as a stream. When you share a Zip file in Google Drive, you land on a page to view all the files inside the zip file and to download the entire file the user has to click File Download.Ive noticed a lot of users dont get this so I actually have to tell them to click File Download when all I really want to do is give them a link to directly download the file. I know there may be applications that can do this anyway (like those YouTube Download apps and websites for YouTube videos), but at least I hope they won't be able to download the video automatically or within a few clicks. Hence I am not sure whether people with the link can only view the video, or they can download it via some ways and/or applications (which I don't want them to). Google Drive viewer helps you preview over 16 different file types, listed below.

However, under this option, further settings are disallowed. Only files under 25 MB can be previewed with the Google Drive viewer. I think the easiest way is to use "Share" -> "Anyone with the link can view" option. I have to share a self-taken video to a large number of people via Google Drive.
